Investment Strategy
The investment strategies employed by the firm involve both Fundamental and Technical security analysis methods. The firm's approach is often described as "focused, concentrated, or non-diversified," meaning that investments may be concentrated in a smaller number of securities compared to other broadly diversified strategies. This approach can lead to increased volatility and risk, as changes in the value of individual securities may have a more significant impact on overall portfolio value.
The firm also acknowledges the inherent risks associated with all securities trading, including the potential for losses due to market corrections or declines. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and clients are advised to make every effort to understand the risks involved before investing.
